FAYETTEVILLE — Cumberland County deputies say trust in a babysitter was shattered by violence when a woman allegedly injured a 10-month-old in her care on May 13.

The baby boy was rushed to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center last week. Unable to speak for himself, his injuries became his voice -- the diagnosis: shaken baby syndrome.

"What I understand from the doctors, there's severe brain injury," said Stephen McLamb, a spokesman for the Cumberland County Sheriff's Department. "I understand there's some internal injury, as well as injury to the anal section of the child."
